Rückkehr nach Luftspiegelung

▲ The girl is YU's daughter, watched birds by using Leica APO-Televid 77. --Feb 22th, 2009.

February 21th, 2009-- It's my first time! I've never been birdwatching before. Last week, WBST(Wild Bird Society of Taipei, 台北市野鳥協會) and my company held a joint activity. The location was at Hua-Jiang Bridge Natural Park(華江橋自然公園), under Hua-Jiang Bridge. The goal is simple, to raise environmental concerns.(Even I think it's useless...) Of course, my holiday was gone. I should stay there for whole day.



▲ WBST and we arranged a row of telescopes.

We supported them several high-quility (also high prices) binoculars and telescopes. Any binocular costs over NT 80000! We displayed these equipments to let people try it. Everyone was surprised at its quility, including me. Very clear, vivid, and shock!

"Oh! what a wonderful binocular!!" said a woman, looked like 45+ years old, "I think it must cost much money! Does it cost over NT 4000?"

"Errr... sorry, madam. Thie one in your hand costs about NT 115000." I said in a little voice.

"You bandit!!!"



▲ Mr. Ru, a Leica binocular user. He observes environment around Hua-Jiang Bridge every week.


▲ He attends a projcet(國科會計畫). He's also a ecologist.

All the members of WBST are very interesting. They are mostly old, retired, rich people. Yes, they are also very very wise. For example, Mr. Ru is a professional wild bird expert from NTU(台灣大學). He is under a project(國科會計畫) to observe environment in Taipei. Accoding to his research, wild birds are on the decrese every year.

接下來一定要用中文講比較好玩，當我跟他聊到一半的時候，旁邊的鳥會義工突然轉過頭來說：「快看！那裡有一群鳥飛過去了！」盧老師聽到後立刻拿起望遠鏡，隨著鳥飛過去的路徑掃看過去，差不多看了兩秒吧，接著他拿出冊子低頭做紀錄：「品種：XXXX，數量：47隻，」哇靠，這樣掃一眼就算出幾隻，太猛了吧！（就是上面那兩張圖）




The girls above are very sweet. In fact, except birdwatching, we had a boring, terrible show in the festival. WBST prepared many performances, mostly folk activities, in order to make it hot. I asked the grils let me take a picture. And they did.

As you see it, the left girl behind her sister reminded me of a impressive photo. So I pressed the shutter button.
